India’s War Hysteria

By Alam Rind • Dec 11th, 2009 • Category: Politics • 5 Comments

Toying with the idea of having limited war under nuclear hangover in Indian subcontinent is rather a dangerous notion. I am sure; Indian Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor fully understands the implications of such an undertaking. It will also be inapt to consider that he made such an assertion out of exuberance or it was a plane expression of his personal military thoughts and nothing more. It certainly was a well thought out and a carefully timed statement avowed while Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh’s was on a state visit to USA. A visit to which Indian media is attaching a lot of importance being the first official visit by any head of the state after President Obama was sworn into the office. Being scheduled immediately after President Obama’s visit to China it divulged future American outlook for the area and possible role for India in the region. For Indian consumption, Joint Statement issued on November 24, 2009 reaffirmed the global strategic partnership between India and the United States and described it as “indispensable for global peace and security”. If also highlighted the desire of the two leaders to, “defeat terrorist safe havens in Pakistan and Afghanistan”.

Interestingly, U.S.-China Joint Statement issued on November 17, 2009 “supports the efforts of Afghanistan and Pakistan to fight terrorism, maintain domestic stability and achieve sustainable economic and social development, and support the improvement and growth of relations between India and Pakistan”. It implicitly assigns regional leadership role to China and confers upon them the responsibility to resolve regional disputes, much to the Indian disappointment. Americans could not ignore China their largest trading pattern, an emerging economy and a future supper power. It is while Indian Prime Minister was busy convincing American authorities of Indian ability to act as a counter weight to China, the statement of their Army Chief reflected upon the willingness of Indian Armed Forces to exert themselves for the fulfillment of Indo-U.S. objectives in the region.

Such aggressive statement by the Indian Army Chief reflects on their regional aspirations and a desire to subjugate Pakistan. The hypothesis seems to be based on self presumed and flawed assumption that they have been able to create a dent in the will of the people through unabated suicidal attacks. It would be very naive of them to consider that Pakistan is anywhere close to exhaustion and they can replay East Pakistan episode. Indian involvement with so called Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and their anti Pakistan activities in Afghanistan are well known. The focus of their military planning seems to hinge on the assumption that by applying their so publicized “cold start strategy” they will be able to achieve dual aim of fixing Pakistan Army and triggering centrifuge forces resulting into disintegration of the country. They fail to recognize that the people of Pakistan fully understand the criticality of the situation and are much more united than ever before. They have the courage to render sacrifices and resolve to preserve their independence as amply demonstrated during Swat and Waziristan operations.

Defeat of Taliban at Swat and Waziristan must have come as a disappointing surprise for those who are orchestrating them. It broke the myth of popular support for them. Even the moderate Muslims of tribal areas which constitute predominant majority have shown their repulsion towards Taliban’s myopic and flawed fundamentalism. On top of it, striking victory by Pakistan Army in these areas must have resulted into loss of billions of dollars spent on training, arming and maintaining so called Taliban. Certainly, a severe blow has been inflicted on Taliban and their sponsors. It shattered the saga of their invincibility and paved the way for their elimination from other parts of the country. Certainly our adversaries would like to extend a helping hand to them. A threatening statement by Indian Army Chief, if nothing else, will impose caution on Pakistan’s military planners. They will be more careful while committing additional troops for anti Taliban operations. It indirectly will help taking pressure off than and by default delay American victory in Afghanistan.

While contemplating such thoughts, Indian Military hierarchy must remain cognizant of Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities. A fact which averted war during 2001 (attack on Indian Parliament) and 2008 (Mumbai attack) stand offs. There was no involvement of Pakistan’s government or any of its organs in those foolish acts. On the contrary, India used these events to vent out propaganda against Pakistan and to draw short term advantages like severing peace talks and thereby stalling peace process in the Sub-continent. The notion of fighting a limited war under nuclear hangover failed in the recent past and is most unlikely to succeed in future. Nevertheless, such statements can serve the lesser aim of increasing mistrust between the two neighbors, thereby, further delaying peace talks, covering up their atrocities in occupied Kashmir, continuing with the stubborn attitude towards resolution of water dispute etc. Such an approach certainly won’t help in resolving regional disputes, which constitutes the core hurdle in India’s path to her regional ambitions. The process can also lead to antagonism in US India relations as through blind pursuance of her regional agenda India can hurt US interests in Afghanistan. One wonders, India while sitting in the American lap is covertly working to settle the score on behalf of Russians, her former ally, by supporting Taliban and thus orchestrating American defeat in Afghanistan.

  1. HiAlam,
    Indians will welcome a Nuclear armed Pakistan because as a smaller nation you require Nukes for your security.The nukes only prevented war after 26/11 mumbai attacks. WhY LET is keen on war between India and Pakistan? Why Richard hadley of LET tried his best to start the war between Pakistan and India? Why Jamaat e Islami is trying to start the war through LET?
    Why your nation’s nuclear experts of Army and Foreign Office are saying that it will defang itself of Nukes once India is defanged? Are you happy with your conventional capability?

    Pakistan Ten Steps:

    If War is declared then what will be *supposed Pakistani Line of Action:

    Mind it: This *Supposition is Based on Practically Possible Actions not like afore-mentioned an Uncouth Indian Propaganda which is based on Castles in the Air:

    I myself Predicts as Indian Loudly Said in the same High Pitch Tone:
    Agar Jung/So Called =Yudh= Chir Jati Hay Tou Pakistan Uthay Ga Duss Qadam:

    1. Naturally Civil Aviation will not allow Air Traffic to Indian Airlines so that she would bear more than 1.37 Million US $ Loss p.m. in an approximate manner just because of Long Air-Rout.

    (Kindly read the Economist Singapore based Magazine i.e. Accumulative Aviation Loss of Indian Airlines between 2001 to ’04 when Pakistani CAA Stopped Routine Indian Passenger & Cargo Planes Flight.

    2. Indian Music, Movies & Day Time TV Opera DRAMAY BAZI of Indian Tv Channels would be banned abruptly – So that the Sweet Dream of Indian Think Tank to put an Impact of Indian Cultural Attack which is Slowly & Gradually is continued through On Our Youth & Simple Nature Household Women of Pakistan who are usually Fantasized & glamorized also would be eliminated all of a sudden.

    3. At Islamabad Pakistani Armed Forces plus Civilian Establishment would decide further Strategy which will cover as followed:

    4. All three Forces will Move along-with Mullah Umar & Co. who are always ready to attack on India through Kashmir.

    5. All the Border Attached Territory would be Attack e.g. Rajhistan, Amritsar, Kashmir so on so forth.

    6. Pakistani Missile System on Emergency Basis would be ready to attack:
    Hadaff, Ghuari, Shahab & their respective series e.g. Hadaff I, II & III are capable directly to attack to even Calcutta & Bangalore i.e. I.T. Silicon City of India over-there approximately half a Trillion US $ has already been Invested by Bill Gates & Co. along-with others Westerners.

    7. Pakistani & Chinese Joint Venture Thunder JF-17 Jet Fighters can drop the Atomic Missile at Bombay these Jet Fighters can fly from Karachi Drigh Road & Mari-Pur Base to destroy to Bombay & adjacent to the same e.g. Gujarat & from Sialkot or Lahore these planes destroy to Amritsar, Delhi, Chundi Gurh, Jalandhar etc.

    (Note: This is understood as a War Strategy these forces have already completed their own respective Home-Work – In Advance — Right After Bitter Experience of ’71 which was Fought with own People of Pakistan these Armed Forces have become Smart Enough ).

    ’71 Kee Jung :–
    Insaan Dushman Say Tou Lur Sukta Hai Pur Apnoun Say Nahee-

    Kiyoun Kay Suna Yehee Ain Waqt-e-Jung Talwar Tayiar Hotee Nahee-
    Issy Liyay Tum/Indians Aksar Kehtay Hoo Jung Nahee Bhaee Abhi Nahee-

    9. In the meanwhile all over the World very specific America & Rest of the World would be Chronicle Victim of PANIC!

    Above All:

    On the principle of — To Nib in the Bud: In starting on top priority basis in very first attempt Pakistan would indicate Atomic Attack in War with India moreover Pakistan can would attempt to use firstly therefore India would never think even — any First Qadam/Step before other remaining Nine furthers Qadam/Steps.

    Aksar Stupidity Say Bhurpur Documentary Banatay Ho –
    Bila-Wajay Roub Mein Lainay Kee Koshish Qiyoun Kurtay Ho-

    Siyanay Samjhtay Hein –
    Aadmi Khali Khooli Ho Ha Na Karay Tou - Kiya Hee Acha Ho-
    Toum Kiya Khali Burtun Kee Tarah Ho – Jou Zoor Say Bujta Ho-
